Haven't been writing at all for a long time guys, but doing very good in terms of nofap. I've also been doing well in the army: working, running, interacting with good people. Trying to stop smoking somewhat successfully. Smoking definitely feels not as hard on my psyche as pornography. I don't feel so guilty and bad for it. Life's been good even with all of the hardships of army duty. I kinda changed my mind about it all, I just wish I could express it in some form of art, that's all. I understand now guys, it's not about the problems but how you see them, how your percieve them psychologically, I hope that makes sense. Good luck and God bless to all of you guys. I'm not going post anymore of these rantings here cause I understand that they're out of place here, I just like the vibe and energy of this particular thread: just guys trying to do some art to ease their life struggles - that's how I see it anyway. I'll post only if I write something now.
I'm hoping to finish this article in the next week or so and then write a poem and finally begin work on that Eliot essay I've been wanting to do for a long time now.
Gonna have to give myself two weeks for the next chapter. Not because it's long, but because I have several appointments that are happening at the same time as I would normally be writing so I cannot guarantee I'll be able to get much done on some days.
Almost 3000 words on my current piece. And I've thought of an idea for a poem I wanna do this week if the idea can hold up haha.
634 words today. I have some time to do more but I dont want to push it too much. I got the scene I wanted done done, so let's just be happy with that.
I've gotten my article done but I'm not entirely happy with the ending so I'm gonna put it aside for a few weeks and then come back to it with fresh eyes and see what I'm missing. But I'm doing with those for the rest of the year so I can finally pursue my Eliot essay, some poetry, and maybe try my hand at prose writing again. I know I've got a new poem in the works and I'm wanting to take my time on it and try to really push myself to give it my all.
A good idea, I do this when editing - give it some time, then go back to it. Makes it easier to see issues you wont have noticed before.
I meant to say done but didn't catch that typo in time. Oops haha. But I'll probably sit on it for a week or two and then come back to it.
I've got three haikus done for the months. I need to edit two of them and then add them to my collection. Not as many but it's because I've been inspired to write other poetry and some essays.
Whoops, I forgot but I'm gonna post one here. I wrote 3 for July but I've already done 52 for the entire year haha.
1401 words today. Chapter is done early, so gonna spend the rest of the week planning the final 3 chapters.
